The St. Charles Barber

THE ST. CHARLES BARBER, by Allan Ishmael Young When Minnie Mullins sold her deceased husband’s barbershop to the personable young stranger, little did she realize the portent of his sudden appearance in her community. Not only would the old barbershop be brought back to life, but her business agreement with the new owner might spell out a death warrant on her own life. And she had little idea that his arrival would drastically change the life of her young friend Victoria. ＂He is either looking for something, or hiding from something,＂ Minnie told Victoria the day after she met him. Both women were to be surprised and amazed at how accurate Minnie’s guess would turn out to be. After long-hidden truths were revealed, because of his arrival, the little town would never be the same again.
